Monitoring the Import Disk Shipment and Data Transfer

When Oracle has processed the transfer (import) disk associated with a transfer package, the status of the transfer package changes to Processed. When Oracle has shipped the disk, the status of the transfer package changes to Returned.

Oracle creates upload summary log files for each uploaded import disk. These logs are placed in the bucket where the data was uploaded to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure. The upload summary file compares the import disk's manifest file to the contents of the target Oracle Cloud Infrastructure Object Storage bucket after file upload.

The top of the log report summarizes the overall file processing status:

P - Present: The file is present in both the disk and the target bucket
M - Missing: The file is present in the disk but not the target bucket. It was likely uploaded and then deleted by another user before the summary was generated.
C - Name Collision: The file is present in the manifest but a file with the same name but different contents is present in the target bucket.
U - Unreadable: The file is not readable from the disk
N - Name Too Long: The file name on disk is too long and could not be uploaded

Complete file upload details follow the summary.

After the import disk with your copied data is received by Oracle and the data transfer begins, you can view the metrics associated with the transfer job in the Transfer Appliance Details page in chart or table format.

Select Metrics under Resources to display each of these measures:

• Import Files Uploaded: Total number of files uploaded for import.

• Import Bytes Uploaded: Total number of bytes uploaded for import.

• Import Files Remaining: Total number of files remaining for import upload.

• Import Bytes Remaining: Total number of bytes remaining for import upload.

• Import Files in Error: Total number of files in error for import.

• Import Upload Verification Progress: Progress of verification of files that have already been uploaded for import.

Select the Start Time and End Time for these measures, either by manually entering the days and times in their respective fields, or by selecting the Calendar feature and picking the times that way. As an alternative to selecting a start and end time, you can also select from a list of standard times (last hour, last 6 hours, and so forth) from the Quick Selects list for the period measured. The time period you specify applies to all the measures.

Specify the Interval (for example, 5 minutes, 1 hour) that each measure is recorded from the list.

Specify the Statistic being recorded (for example, Sum, Mean) for each measure from the list.

Choose additional actions from the Options list, including viewing the query in the Metrics Explorer, capturing the URL for the measure, and switching between chart and table view.

Click Reset Charts to delete any existing information in the charts and begin recording new metrics.

See Monitoring for general information on monitoring your Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services.

Typically, you would close a transfer job when no further transfer job activity is required or possible. Closing a transfer job requires that the status of all associated transfer packages be returned, canceled, or deleted. In addition, the status of the associated transfer disk must be complete, in error, missing, canceled, or deleted.

You have completed the process of setting up, running, and monitoring the import disk-based data transfer. After the disk contents is successfully migrated to Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, your physical disk is erased and returned to you.

If you determine that another disk-based data transfer is required, repeat the procedure from the beginning.
